2 men wrongfully convicted of Oakland murder file lawsuit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:19 GMT

(KRON) -- A broke homeless woman was paid $30,000 to testify about an Oakland slaying she never witnessed. An allegedly rogue detective was bent on closing a case, with or without real evidence. Two young men were sentenced to serve life in prison for a murder they did not commit. A homicide victim was denied justice because the real killer was never caught. Three children grew up without a father in their life. This stark picture was painted in a federal civil rights lawsuit that was filed Thursday for Giovante Douglas and Cartier Hunter against the Oakland Police Department. The two Bay Area natives served nearly a decade in maximum security prisons before their convictions were overturned and their freedom was granted. At a news conference held outside the Oakland courthouse Thursday, civil rights attorney Adanté Pointer told reporters, "Imagine being sentenced to life, to serve the rest of your natural life behind bars, for something you did not do?"

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:23:19 GMT

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A new dispute has erupted over Kentucky’s sweeping transgender law, revolving around one word in a section banning sex education topics — including sexual orientation — from discussion in classrooms.The measure’s top Republican sponsor pushed back this week over how the Kentucky Department of Education has interpreted the provisions in offering guidance to school districts statewide.It’s part of a far-reaching measure passed this year to regulate some of the most personal aspects of life for transgender youth in Kentucky — from banning access to gender-affirming health care to restricting the bathrooms they can use at school. The ban on gender-affirming care has drawn a court challenge.The latest dispute boils down to a single word choice by lawmakers. They used “or” rather than “and” in the sex education section — leading to big implications over how it’s interpreted.As a result, districts can choose one of two bans in the section, acco...
